		Description: Prevent spread of invasive species by identifying and removing invasive species from work vehicles and equipment. Consult resources such as the Plants Database (http://plants.usda.gov/index.html) or the NatureServe Explorer (http://www.natureserve.org/explorer/) with assistance identifying invasive plants. Other resources include state natural resource offices (https://www.fws.gov/offices/statelinks.html) or a local U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Office (https://www.fws.gov/offices/).

F		Approved 4(d) Take Permit	2/1/2023	4/30/2023	Concluded	Joshua Ashline	10/30/2022 9:20:47 PM
		Description: We will submit the 4(d) take permit to BPA when issued, typically in April. John Day River spring Chinook salmon are not listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Therefore, no directed take permits or consultations are required to conduct the Chinook salmon activities proposed in this statement of work. Steelhead juveniles, which are listed as threatened under the ESA will be captured, handled, and released during their directed take and during the collection of Chinook smolts. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) authorizes take of steelhead under the provisions of the 4(d) ruling.

		Description: Provide bull trout ESA section 6 coverage to BPA. ODFW has an ESA Section 6 agreement with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for bull trout. This agreement authorizes all direct take associated with bull trout management and research activities conducted by ODFW. Because we are providing biological data for bull trout management, catch of bull trout during Chinook and steelhead sampling is covered under this Section 6 agreement. Incidental take of bull trout will be reported under the state section 6 agreement.
